The pump includes a easing located in the body and movable parts in the casing 8 designates the pnmp casing Which easing is meunted enthepiatefi. flhe n eyable parts are here sheWn' as intei'nies'hing' gears 9, 10 lpated in the casing contiguous torth plate. n of t e e s, e t e ar, 1' e v e asa distributer and bgihg afirali 'ed wiith itsax'is concentric with the axis the circuiai series of po ts 5, and being 'rovided with a delivery passage 11 a'rrang' to genie into alinernent successively with the p0i-ts of the series 5, v e

This an' iu her opens into another coiiijgresfeion ber 16 formed in the easing Baii' pfevidiid with means th fei n for regulating the pressure of the pump; q

ening int th q i ainer which the delive at which the gears 9, 10 mesh to that on which the compression chamber 16 is located.

The ear 9 is actuated by a shaft suitably coupler? to the upper end of the shaft 12 which extends through the casing 8 into the container 6, connection being made with this shaft 12 through a passage 21 in the top of the container 6. The body of the lubricator is usually supported on the crank casing of an engine or any other suitable part,

11 operation, the oil flows from the container 6 through the inlet 19 into the interior of the pump casin 8 when it is pumped into the compression ciamber 16 and flows therefrom into the compression chamber 15 of the distributing gear, from which it passes through the passage 11 through the outlet passages, and through the ports 5.

This lubricator is particularly advantageous in that owing to the fact that each outlet passage receives an individual impulse, each part to be lubricated will always receive the proper amount of oil and ob struction of the passages is prevented.

What I claim is 1. A force feed lubricator having a circular series of outlet ports and a pump including a rotary distributer arranged concentric with the axis of the series of the ports and formed with a transverse delivery passage extending in the direction of the axis of the distributer and opening through opposite side faces of the distributer, the deivery passage being arranged to register successively with said outlet ports, substantiaglly as and for the purpose described.

A force feed In ricator com I'lSll'lg a bod ormed with a series of circu ar outlet port s, and a pump including a casing and intermeshing gears located in the casing, one of said gears being arranged with its axis coincident with the axis of the series of'outlet ports and having a delive passage therethrough eccentric to said axis and movable successively into registration with the outlet ports, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

'A force feed lubricatcr .comprislng a body formed with a circular series of outlet ports and a pump including a. casing, and move, is elements in the caslng, said elements including intermeshing gears, one of the gears serving as a distributer andbemg arran ed with its axis coincident with the axiso said-series of. outlet ports and formed with a delivery passage arranged to come successively into alinement wi the outlet ports, the pump also including an annular.

compression chamber arranged concentric with the axis of said distri uter and into passage 0 ens substan tiallyas and fort e purpose esc bed.

4. A force feed lubricator com rising a body having a circular 561138 of out t ports,

and a pump including a rotary distributor arranged concentric with the axis of said series and formed with a delivery passa e arranged to register successivelyv with said outlet ports, and means for adjusting the pressure through the delivery passage, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

5. A force feed lubricator comprising a body formed with a circular series of outlet ports, and a pump including a casing, movable elements in the casing, said elements including intermeshing gears, one of the gears serving as a distrib-uter and being arran ed with its axis coincident with the axis 0 said series of outlet ports and formed with a delivery passage arran ed to come successively into alinement wit the outlet ports, the pump also including an annular compression chamber arranged concentric with said distributer and into which the delivery passage opens, and means for adjusting the pressure in said annular passage, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

6. A force feed lubricator comprising a body formed with a circular series of outlet ports, and a pump includin a casing formed with a compression chain er, mjovable elements in the casing including a rotary distributer arranged with its axis coincident with the axislof said series'of outlet ports, and with a delivery passage arranged to come successively into alinement with said ports, the pump also including an annular compression chamber communicating with the former compression chamber, and arranged concentric with the axisof the distributor and into which the delivery passage opens, and means located in the first-mentioned compression chamber for regulating the pressure therein, substantially as and for the purpose described.

7. A force feed lubricator comprising a body formed with a circular series ofoutlet ports, and a p-unr pinclud'ing a casing, movable elements in the casing, said e enients including intermeshin-g gears, one of the gears servin as a distributor and beingarranged with its axis coincident with "the axis of said series of outlet ports and formed with a delivery passage arran ed tocome successively into alinement wit theoutlet ports, the pump also including an annular compression chamber arranged concentric with said distributor and into which the de livery passage, opens, and means in the for mer compression chamber ,for adjustin the pressure t erein substantially as an for the purpose specified.

8. A force feed lubricator "a body including a plate formed wit a series of radially extending oves in one face thereof, the inner ends 0 which grooves are arranged in a circular series, a plate overlying the grooves and formed with pe 180 forations in alinement with the inner and outer ends of the grooves, those at the inner end constituting a circular series of inlet ports for the grooves, and those at the outer end, outlet ports, a container mounted above the base and the plate and having passages communicating with the inlet ports, and a pump including a casing mounted within the container, and movable parts including intermeshing gear wheels located in the casing, one of the gear wheels being arran ed with its axis coincident with the axis 0 the circular series of ports and formed with a delivery passage arranged to come into alinement successively with the ports of said circular series, the pump being also formed with a compression chamber including an annular portion arranged concentric with the axis of said distributer gear into which one end of the delivery passage opens, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto signed m name at Syracuse, in the county of Onon aga, and State of New York, this 6th day of June, 1916.
